last night, me + !imbecile-anthem sat on the floor, grabbed our sketch pads, erasers, pencils + pens, and started doodling.... it was late.. we were in a weird non-creative mood.... nothing came out right.. so we decided to listen to some music.. we chose to listen to "13th step" by APC.... when the "pet" song was on this image begun to form.......

especially dedicated to !imbecile-anthem (for being more than a great person + an excellent friend), *Sub3r3 (for he was the one who bought this cd + gave it to me a long time ago..) + pprrrreeeecious (for his absence always puts me in a weird melancholic mood..)

I'm your boogieman That's what I am I'm here to do whatever I can Be it early mornin', late afternoon Or at midnight, it's never too soon

I wanna be with you I wanna be with you Yeah we'll be together, you and me I wanna see you Ah get near you I wanna love you Ah from sundown sunup - oh yeah oh yeah

I'm your boogieman That's what I am I'm here to do whatever I can Be it early mornin', late afternoon Or at midnight, it's never too soon To want to please you I wan to keep you To wanna do it all, all for you I wanna be your, be your lover boy I wanna be the one Ya love most of all I'm your boogieman

Hi there. I like the drawing style you've used to depict the boogeyman and wondered if you would like to contribute to my university project. It's a publication showcasing the different visual representations of the boogeyman. If you would like some more detail on this project please email me at nina.camacho@bathspa.org

first glance i took at it i thought that the child was the owner and that the creature was its pet. But then i read your song lyrics, and that cleared it up. It definitely explains the vacant stare that the child has
